- Cafés and restaurants
- Bars, pubs, taverns and nightclubs

- Health and fitness centres and gyms
- Hairdressing and beauty services
- Florists
- Cinemas
- Bakeries and catering services
- Clubs (hospitality)
- Specialised food retail

Eligible businesses must have an Australia-wide payroll of less than $4 million and be able to demonstrate losses incurred for perishable goods, cancellations or other unforeseen costs as a result of the ANZAC Day long weekend lockdown and subsequent restrictions.
